Welcome to Microcontest 21: 1024/512
Name: 1024/512
Difficulty: 2/5
Time Limit: 24 Hours
Prompt:
Today, you must make a map with at least two objectives that are each exactly 1024hu or 512hu apart from each other.
Additionally, any further objectives past the initial two must be placed exactly 1024hu or 512hu from one of the other objectives.
(This distance is 1024hu from the center of one block to the center of the other)
Attatched to this post is a .vmf containing various visgroups to help you measure distances to make sure your entry is valid, as well as some example setups for arrangements of more than two objectives. Using the template is not mandatory as long as you get the distances right, but it is there if you would like to use it. You may freely rotate, copy, and move the template pieces. The skip brushes in each visgroup are the actual measuring tools; the devtexture blocks are just there to help you visualize were the center of each measurement is.
Bonus Stamp:
Have two of your required objectives be stacked perfectly vertically, as shown in the "1024 vertical" and "512 vertical" visgroups in the template.
Submission Procedure:

For the purposes of this ruleset, "objectives" include a capture points, payload starting locations, payload checkpoints, flag spawn locations, flag capture zones, pd deposit zones, PASS Time goal zones, MvM bomb hatches, RD robot spawn positions, etc.
Only the ground at the center of an objective counts for measurement! For example, the triggers for two different capture points can be closer than 1024/512hu as long as the center of the capture zones are 1024/512hu apart. You can see an example of this in the "Capture Point Distance Example" in the template .vmf:
An example of a possible four-objective setup is shown below, and is included in the template as a visgroup named "4-Objective Example":
